A few years ago I posted here asking for a dedicated volleyball thread. I appreciate your guys effort in making that happen, and I think you making this happen has been very successful and good for the program. Today I have a new suggestion, as I think there can be some confusion and lack of awareness of topics posted that pertain to the general happenings of UND in academics and athletics. UND academic topics are currently posted in "Community". I think renaming the topic by adding something pertaining to UND Academics or creating a new topic that separates discussion of general happenings at UND from topics relating to Grand Forks and the State of North Dakota would be beneficial. I don't have any evidence to back this up, but I believe having a separate topic for UND academics, faculty, and facilities would increase participation and awareness in these areas. There are many UND news articles that are published in the Herald and never discussed on this website. SiouxSports is also lacking a logical place to post general Athletic Department happenings, such as department-wide apperal deals, media deals, conference affiliation matters, and general AD staffing topics. These topics are typically discussed in topics related to specific sports, when they are often relevant to all sports at UND. IMO, I think that this causes the threads posted about some of the issues in these categories to be missed or under-discussed by users who do not venture into non hockey or football or basketball threads, even though some of the issues posted under these topics are relevant to the sports that they care about. Perhaps there is a better way to categorize department-wide athletics topics? Maybe it would be lumped in with with General UND Discussion for academics/athletics, and there could be a separate topic for Grand Forks/State of North Dakota issues. General UND AD issues could potentially be included with "NCAA News", too. Also, I think this is the best run college athletics message board, and appreciate those who moderate and manage/own siouxsports.com. I am just wondering if you guys think that there is room for improvement. I know that too many topics can also be a bad thing if they aren't used enough. What do you think guys think?

Which is kinda bs considering Cal Poly and UC Davis. Would be nice to be affiliates for two years. The big sky should really force Cal Poly and UC Davis to decide whether or not they want to join as full members or fend for themselves with football.

UMKC. Less than a three hour drive from them and Omaha, and they don't sponsor football.

It wouldn't actually be that bad, though. When they travel to the dakotas, UND/NDSU, and USD/SDSU are very short and easy drives between games. Omaha/Denver wouldn't be so bad either, with cheap flights into and out of Denver. Frontier currently has flights to Omaha for 68 dollars. If Northern Colorado and UMKC were added, NoCol to Denver and UMKC to Omaha are also easy drives. These aren't really any more difficult than SUU and NAU road trips for the Montana Schools. Baseketball would be Very competitive in a merged league, especially if Weber comes along. This league would compete with the new MVC, imo. Take football from the MVFC and force UNI to make a big decision.

Stream working for anyone?

Herald is garbage for any sport that isn't hockey.

yeah... didn't it pretty much end Mollberg's career? I think his dad said that it had something to do with the position change when he posted on here a while ago. Anyways, as far as next year, I think we will be better simply because we will have a better QB. Keaton is a below average quarterback when he is not running the ball, which he didn't this year. He averaged 21.7 rushing yards per game this year. He was in the bottom half of the league in QB efficiency. The coaches might throw the ball around a little bit more with a better quarterback next year. We have talked a lot this year about coaches utilizing the players that they have, and they did not have a good quarterback, so they ran the ball more than most here would have liked. With a better qb, even with the same amount of attempts, we will see a more balanced offense next season. I like Keaton, but even Zimmerman already looked better than him this year. As much as I like the guy, Keaton had a terrible deep ball. That said, I am still in the fire Rudolph camp, but I don't see that happening.

If anything, hopefully that big recruit that we grabbed provides reason for him to think next year can be really special here.

WRONG! Those are sweet.

Right now I wish grand forks had a guy like Dan Cole to put a negative spin on everything. I'll be optimistic after the playoffs end.

Hmmm. Maybe if the receivers can't catch the ball, the OC should throw it to his all american running back more often.

Players can only make plays if they are on the field. The problem that we have is Rudolph underutilized the the weapons that he had to work with. Wouldn't you like to have seen Santiago used more in the passing game? Have him spread out wide while Brady is lined up behind the QB? By the way, people were complaining about Rudolph all last season.

Good game. Happy to see them fight back like that. That second announcer was terrible. He also called us North Carolina haha. Surprised how well this team is playing. I think ralston just said Avants lost a tooth.

Who are you talking to?

Thanks for the info.

You sure about that? NDSU even has ALL of their women's games on Midco. Still not a word from UND on the schedule. PATHETIC!

Pluto is consistently bad. Use watchbigsky.com

No

Gosh! Enough Iowans already!!!! What is wrong with our coaches! JK. This is pretty cool.

No Pluto here. Looking forward to espn3

You know that for a fact or are you guessing? Because that is really pathetic, considering they are airing all of NDSU's games. Happy to see Faison go if this is the case. Embarrassing.

Anybody? Is midco not airing any home basketball games this year? The other Dakotas have all had their midco schedules updated on their website for a long time now...

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats the point in maxing out in the weight room if you are training for a sport?
